Dance Lessons

So as I stated in a previous blog Josh and I started taking ballroom dance lessons. Vietnese Waltz, night club two step, and the Samba to be exact. It's a lot of fun and Josh is starting to get the hang of it. It has been something fun and new that we can do together. I must admit though, that it can be hard. I used to dance, I have always loved dancing. I danced for a few years taking ballet, jazz, and tap, and I also used to be a cheerleader and did praise dance at church. When I was in Master's Commission, I danced hip hop. So, naturally I am a pretty good dancer, I think.
Well, a very import lesson in dancing with a partner is that you must let the man lead! No matter what! If he messes up you follow, and you mess up to. If he wants to move left and you know you are supposed to go right, you move left, if he wants to spin you and you don't feel like being spun, guess what you better get your turn on! So, needless to say it was quite hard for me to let Josh lead when of course I am a WAAAAAAAAY better dancer. " I have years of experience " I thought to myself. " I don't have to let him lead right?!?!?" WRONG! And it was in my dance class that I truly have begun to learn submission. Of course I have always known that " wives must submit to their husbands as to the Lord" but I must admit sometimes it just stinks! I so did not want to move to Hawaii and Josh really felt called. I was so stubborn and could have almost missed out on the great plans that God had and still has for us here. Not to mention all the fun we have had and the things we have done!
It was hard learning to adjust to life here and not having friends and no family, but it has been so rewarding to share this with my husband! God never ceases to amaze, even in dance class!
